Thread: New casting distance champ

My thoughts were rods with a big Fuji style stripper guide would give line the least amount of resistance. But I also thought a shorter rod with big guides would be a long caster .
Fewer guides , less resistance.
This afternoon I strung up an older model 7’ Daiwa Procyon ULF rod with 2# Floroclear on a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000d and tied on a 1/64 Trout Magnet jig and TM body .
Measured distance was 64’+ . And it did it several times.
I’ve got a couple other seven footers with Fuji ceramic guides that need to try .
I think 64’ with a 1/64 ounce jig is unbelievable, imagine what a 1/32 jig will do . I may have to try , but I’m running out of open driveway space . I may have to trim a few limbs hanging over the driveway.
